the appearance of behaviorally modern people--a not
unreasonable inference given the linguistic and
archaeological evidence--then the linguistic similarities
connecting all the world's languages may have had a
common origin as recently as 50,000 years ago. If this
scenario is correct--and linguistic, genetic, and
archaeological evidence seem to support it--then all
modern humans (and all contemporary human
cultures and languages) share a recent common origin."
